Israeli Police Arrest Polygamist Cult Leader Living with 17 Women

Israeli police today arrested the leader of an alleged polygamist cult and accused him of enslavement, rape, and incest, according to the BBC website.

Goel Ratzon is believed to have been living in Tel Aviv with 17 women with whom he had at least 40 children.

Ratzon, 60, denies the allegations, saying the women were with him voluntarily.

Ratzon -- whose first name means "savior" in Hebrew -- said in a documentary on Israeli television last year: "I'm perfect. I have all the qualities a woman wants."
